parrot Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 So if I put some of that "custom crafted lubricant blend" in my K motor, how many kilowatts will I get? Maybe I should use that instead of good old HPR50. Coming to a supercheap near you real soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GJM85 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 It's likely some cross plane, high rpm, low torque thingamajig suited to a momocycle. If it made 150rwhp in a 900kg car it'd be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 This thing has been floating around the ether of the internet for 2-3 years with no productuon, major information, specs or figures. Show me one on a dyno or in a car and I might get excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coln72 Posted May 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Wasn't it the gearbox that failed though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickn5k Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) There must be downsides..... Logetivity? I'm wondering much boost it's running to make those numbers. That's gotta limit it's reliability. Edited May 6, 2016 by kickn5k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiro Protagonist Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Wasn't it the gearbox that failed though? Correct, but helps to put things in perspective considering all the fuss which is suddenly being made of this engine again for some reason.
